There are enough rich people who buy top of the line, never ride it, then sell it on marketplace. Pros ride hard, put it away wet, and rely on their professional mechanics/frame sponsors when they break shit. They don't worry about keeping their bike in decent condition.

I would never want a pros bike.

I'll add to the dumpster fire: In 2022 a friend of mine broke his super boost rear wheel just days before our bike trip to Moab. He was unable to find any replacement in a big city like Toronto. Not even the shops in Moab had one. After much research. he managed to find a bike shop several hours out of the way from Moab that had one collecting dust. If this was a "normal" 148 wheel then he could've used any one of our spare wheels. It's just silly. Also never heard of renting wheels in North America.

I was also so thrown off by the comment that a shop would rent a wheel... that sounds like an easy way to go bankrupt if you ask me. I wouldn't want to rent myself a wheel. My wife's mom wants to pass on her like-new, lady-riden, 2023 Devinci Troy, which by all means is a sick bike. What keeps me up at night is that it has superboost and doesn't vibe with all our 148 bikes.

This is crazy. Who do you know that has spare 157 wheels laying around? Shops don’t rent wheels. They barely rent bikes anymore.

That's a cracking good deal!

Well there are laces, so we know it’s not a freeride team with Finley K.

enough product talk in team rumors.

Rough day but thankfully they are all safe.

The twins splitting is something I've actually heard before. Surprising but if the offers are there, then why not eh? On another note, here are some photos of a few of the "park" features on the Korea track. Frank Pardal says he'll be doing a track preview Wednesday!

Holy shit the Goldstone's house just burned down. Bailey posted on IG. That's go to be an emotional rollercoaster of a week after Jackson just won the overall. She thankfully wrote that everyone is alright. It still fucking sucks though.

Striped sleeve, as in National Champ? That's Pinky

I don't want Dak to go to Pivot

Lucas Cruz leaving Norco Race Division. Good guy who has been hampered by injuries the past few years. Seems like he could benefit by doing the Crankworx/Continental/national races like his brother focused on this year.

Get this man a vital shirt.

He was on a trek ! Went on the lift with him . At the momet I tought he was already on that team

Very happy for Kolb. The Mob riders deserve nice stable teams.

No, points stay with the team. It hasn’t been totally clear in yt’s situation but yes it looks like they vanish. She’ll contribute zero points at the start but will carry a team up the ranks by herself. She alone would have been ranked 14th in the team standings
